Air quality today
The air quality in Nottingham today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements recorded for the day show a PM2.5 reference value of 14.0 and a PM10 reference value of 17.0, based on three valid observations collected via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.
Latest sensor values
PM categories follow US EPA AQI breakpoints, shown here as an estimate derived from the latest valid measurements (this project does not compute EPA NowCast/24-hour AQI yet).
What the data includes
The data set for Nottingham includes measurements of five key pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM₁₀), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM₂.₅) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). Across the city there are eight individual rows of observations drawn from two monitoring stations, giving a modest spatial snapshot of air quality.
The most recent readings come from the Western Boulevard site, where NO₂ values range from 17 µg/m³ to 35 µg/m³ with a median of 26 µg/m³, and PM₁₀ spans 17 µg/m³ to 24 µg/m³ (median 20.5 µg/m³). PM₂.₅ is reported as a single value of 14 µg/m³ at the same location. All three of these pollutants were last updated on 2026‑02‑10 20:00 UTC, indicating fresh data within the past week. In contrast, O₃ and SO₂ are only available from the city centre station and both reflect older measurements dated 2024‑01‑30 (13:00 UTC for O₃ and 12:00 UTC for SO₂). The ozone reading is a constant 43 µg/m³ and sulphur dioxide remains at 2 µg/m³, each reported as the sole value in their respective series.
These figures highlight an uneven coverage pattern: while nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter have recent, multi‑point data that capture a range of conditions, ozone and sulphur dioxide are limited to a single, two‑year‑old observation. Consequently, the dataset provides a clear picture of current NO₂ and PM levels but offers only a static snapshot for O₃ and SO₂, underscoring that air quality can differ across neighbourhoods and over time.
